This course will not disappoint your learner!!  We are going to have a blast learning about science!  This course is quarter 1 of 4 quarters that encompass 5th grade science.  Learners can take this course to meet their 5th grade  science standards and/or use it as a supplement to their current 5th grade comprehensive science curriculum.  *COURSES CAN BE TAKEN IN ANY ORDER

There will be one lesson each week and the lessons will include presentations, videos, handouts, doodle notes, hands-on learning activities and labs/experiments!  I explain, teach and model all activities each week in the recording.  The activities will appeal to all learner styles!  Labs are not required but participating in the labs is encouraged and learners will have a blast!  It is crucial to foster a love for science in learners so they want to continue developing their science skills for middle school and high school.  Science matters and your learner will begin to enjoy science with this course!
